ALFALFA BILL MUM ON PLANS AS GOVERNOR Shuns Oklahoma Capital; Old Village Turned Into ‘Boom’ Political Town. By Unital Press TISHOMINGO. Okla.. Dec. 18.—In an almost forgotten cross-roads town—once the capital of the Chickasaw Indian nation —William H. i Alfalfa Bill) Murray is laboring with policies of state in preparation for his term as Governor of Oklahoma. Scorning the company of political advisers in Oklahoma City, the state capital, the picturesque “Sage of Tishomingo” has chosen to prepare his legislative message among the admiring home folks, whose hero he hes been for many years. His office is a barren room on the *cn floor of a three-story hotel. In a comer is a wood stove. At one ide is an old-fashioned dresser. Hero of His Friends A table is piled high with statute books. In the center is the state Constitution, open. Just twentythree years ago. Murray wrote that Constitution when Oklahoma first became a state. The people of Tishomingo—old frontiersmen. Indians and their descendants—have watched Alfalfa Bill travel a polical path that led to the presidency of the state’s constitutional convention in 1907, to speaker of the first legislature and later to congress, only to have a skeptical electorate repudiate him because he predicted the World war. Even when he led a band of Pilgrims to the Brazilian prairies to form anew colony of Americans, these folks still called him neighbor. "Well, old Tishomingo was good enough for me before I was elected Governor and I guess it’s still good enough,” Murray said in explaining why he refused to move to the state capital before his inauguration, Jan. 12. “Boom” Political Town So Tishomingo has become the “boom” political town of Oklahoma. Politicians and would-be politicians gather here by the scores, all waiting to see what Bill Murray will do. And what he will do Jan. 12 is unknown to any one. This man who started a hitchhiking campaign last summer that resulted in his election to the governorship by the greatest majority in the state’s history, is keeping everything to himself. He has no telephone in his office. When a visitor arrives Murray remains seated in his old rocking chair, his feet propped high on the stove top. his hat slouched over his' face. Dropping cigar ashes almost .burn his long walrus mustache. "All right, be brief and to the point.” Murray commands. "I know vour motive already. Get down to business. I’m a busy man.” RUDY WINS RIGHT TO SING ‘VAGABOND LOVER’ Composer of Similar Selection Is Loser in Plagiarism Suit 0 B” United Frees CHICAGO, Dec. 18.—It’s all settled now—if Rudy Vallee wants to sing the Vagabond Lover song over the radio he may. Jesse H. Brown, attorney, who composed a similar song, “Vagabond Dream,” made Vallee a defendant in a suit against Leon Zimmerman, composer of “Vagabond Lover.” Brown contended the song which Vallee bought part of the rights on was plagiarized. % The suit was heard before Hugo M. Friend, circuit judge, who ruled Brown had failed to establish that his song was written first. Brown said his song was written in 1921 and contended Zimmerman’s was written later. Zimmerman testified he wrote "Vagabond Lover” in 1919. A device invented by a California scientist to record brain action is operated by electrodes placed on persons’ tongues, where they are affected by delicate nerves.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

REVOLT SPIRIT IS STILL ALIVE THROUGH SPAIN Insurgents, Beaten in First Tilt, Not to Remain Quiet Long. 1 By United Press MADRID, Dec. 18. —Saved from possible overthrow by the loyalty of the army and the premature launching of Republican revolutionary plans, the Spanish government dominated the country and controlled general strikes by martial law today. It was difficult to predict whether the monarchy and Premier-General Damaso Berenguer eventually would emerge stronger or weaker from the present situation. Quarters in close touch with the army refused to discount the possibility that Spain’s armed forces might co-operate with some movement against the government sooner or later. At the same time it was believed Republicans and other civilian revolutionary elements are not likely to try fv/’ther attempts at co-opera-tion vl h Communists and extremist labor organizations. The next few days are expected to be difficult for King Alfonso XIII and Premier Berenguer in attempting to restore the country to normalcy, in view of the many divergent ideas as to how their plans should be carried out. The government does not expect the revolutionists, beaten in their first concerted attempt against the crown, to remain idle long. The opinion expressed by Ramon Franco and other leaders of the unsuccessful revolt that they would surely triumph eventually is considered typical of the plotters. SCHOOL BOOKS COST REDUCTION SOUGHT Parent-Teachers’ Congress Group Forms Legislative Program. Reduction or elimination of the i cost of school books to parents is one of the legislative aims to which the legislative committee of the Indiana congress of parents and teachers committed itself in session here recently. Mrs. G. G. Derbyshire, chairman, announced. The congress’ legislative program favors the principles of state school eld, increased hospital aid for tuber- | culosis, and the county health comI mission; “adequate appropriations” i for state colleges and universities, | and opposes reduction of forces in j state departments dealing with ! human welfare, especially child welj fare, education and probation. Present at the committee meeting ! were Mrs. W. J. Hockett, Mrs. Edna Hatfield Edmondson, Mrs. M. W. Blair, Mrs. John H. Kern, Mrs. L. G. Hughes, Mrs. Bruce W. Maxwell and Mrs. Derbyshire. Calls Sinclair Lewis “Babbit” By United Press CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 18.— Sinclair Lewis, Nobel prize winner, is compared with the Babbit of his own creation in an editorial in the Harvard Crimson, undergraduate newspaper. No Rotary Club afterdinner speech could ha\o been “more crassly pompous” than Lewis’ speech of acceptance, the Crimson said.

MUNCIE MAYOR RAPS TAX BODY Wants to Be Governor to Abolish State Board. By Times Special MUNCIE. Ind.. Dec. 18.—Announcing he would be a candidate for Governor of Indiana, Mayor George R. Dale of Muncie declared he wanted the office “to get these parasites off the state's shoulders.” He was referring to the state tax board. The mayor and board members clashed in Indianapolis Tuesday over Muncie's budget for 1931. Dale was told by the board that it will take no further action in the budget matter. It has approved a proposed list of expenditures as recommended by the city council, but which the mayor opposes, as several items he wanted are not included. This failed to stop Dale. He declares the 1930 budget will be used next year. “If anybody wants to take the matter into the courts, it will be all right with me,” was the mayor’s parting shot.
